Jess Weitz is a multi-disciplinary visual artist based in Marlboro, Vermont. With over 30 years of experience, her artistic practice encompasses photography, painting, found object sculpture, writing, and ceramics, often blending these mediums in innovative ways.

​

Jess's ceramics and paintings are inspired by the local landscape, incorporating found plant and soil materials to create pigments, slips, and glazes. She works primarily in earth tones, emphasizing organic forms. Her creations include both wheel-thrown and hand-built functional pieces and sculptures. Driven by a deep connection to place (topophilia), her process intertwines the visual and poetic aspects of memory.

​

She has self-published two books of poetry with artwork, and has two books of multi-genre nonfiction writing and artwork forth coming. 

​

In addition to her art, Jess has been teaching expressive art and meditation since 2012, offering both in-person and online courses for children, adults and organizations. Her primary goal is to share intuitive approaches to art-making, helping others rediscover their innate intuition.

​

Jess’s teaching style is characterized by deep listening, authenticity, inquiry, fierce compassion, warmth, and humor.
